Also, who is ready for a spirit week?! Alongside our annual Career on Wheels district event for our 4th grade students, all students have been exploring careers the past couple of weeks.

2021-2022 SCHOOL YEAR AT MANCHESTER PARK
SNACKS/BIRTHDAY TREAT REMINDER
Snacks - We understand that some of our younger students will have lunch at different times than they are used to and might need a snack to hold them over. All snacks need to be an individually wrapped/bagged snack or fresh fruit/veggie and brought from home (no sharing). Teachers will decide when this will take place.
Birthday Treats - Bringing birthday treats is and always has been optional and a family decision. We know that it is also an enjoyable experience for children. Due to our circumstances, birthday treats need to be individually wrapped items and store bought (not homemade). To clarify “individually wrapped” means that the item has been wrapped either at the manufacturer or at the store where proper food handling procedures are followed.
Please do not purchase boxes of donuts, cupcakes, cookie cakes, etc. and take them home and then put them in individual baggies as does not count as “individually wrapped”. We know this is a tough restriction for some and school birthday celebrations are just not the same this year but just trying to minimize risk of exposure and spread of COVID this year.
We also highly encourage non-edible birthday treats for the class – erasers, pencils, etc. Students will not be able to deliver to other teachers, only distributed to the classmates.
